Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate multi-transmission reception point (multi-TRP) operation for new radio (NR). One example apparatus may be employed at a user equipment (UE) and may comprise one or more processors configured to transmit uplink control information (UCI) on two physical uplink control channels (PUCCHs). The two PUCCHs occupy different symbols in the same slot.

Abstract: In one example, a method for a user equipment (UE) includes generating uplink (UL) signal data. The UL signal data includes UL control information (UCI) and UL shared channel (UL-SCH), the UCI includes a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledge (HARQ-ACK) feedback or a channel state information (CSI) report, and the CSI report includes a first CSI part and a second CSI part. One or more resource regions are allocated to transmission of the HARQ-ACK feedback or the first CSI part and the second CSI part. When frequency hopping is enabled for a transmission of PUSCH, the allocated one or more resource regions for the transmission of the HARQ-ACK feedback or the first CSI part and the second CSI part are substantially equally divided into two portions, and each portion is transmitted in each frequency hop, frequency first mapping is applied to the transmission of PUSCH in each frequency hop.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for multiplexing of PUCCH for beam failure recovery and other signals. A UE may determine a transmission dropping rule and a transmission power scaling rule for a PUCCH which is dedicatedly configured for secondary BFR transmission, such as a PUCCH-BFR, when it is multiplexed with at least one other signal. The PUCCH-BFR and the at least one other signal may be multiplexed in a CC or in multiple CCs. The UE may determine a transmission dropping rule, e.g., so that UE can transmit an uplink signals with higher priority and drop the other uplink signal with lower priority to avoid beam collisions. The UE may determine a transmission power scaling rule, e.g., so the UE may scale transmission power within a CC and/or across CCs. The UE may multiplex the PUCCH-BFR with the at least one other signal according to the rules.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques associated with coefficients for channel state information (CSI) reports are described. A described technique includes receiving, at a user equipment (UE), a CSI configuration and a codebook configuration, the codebook configuration specifying a codebook; determining a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) that specifies a precoding matrix associated with the codebook, wherein the precoding matrix is based on spatial-domain (SD) vectors and linear combining coefficients; and transmitting a CSI report containing the PMI in accordance with the CSI configuration.

Abstract: The disclosure describes configuration schemes for secondary cell (SCell), bandwidth part (BWP) and physical resource block (PRB) indexing. An apparatus of user equipment (UE) for BWP activation and deactivation operation is disclosed. The apparatus includes baseband circuitry that includes a radio frequency (RF) interface, and one or more processors. The one or more processors are to receive radio resource control (RRC) data via the RF interface, configure a timer for a BWP according to the RRC data, and trigger the timer for the BWP in response to detection of an event associated with an access node after the BWP has been activated.

Abstract: An approach is described that includes receiving a CSI report, where the CSI report includes a channel quality indicator (CQI), a rank indicator (RI), and a precoding matrix indicator (PMI). The approach further includes constructing a precoding matrix based on a linear combination of a plurality of mutually orthogonal digital Fourier transformation (DFT) spatial beams, and determining a number of bits for the PMI of the precoding matrix. The approach also includes determining a space frequency matrix based, at least in part, on the number of bits for the PMI and the precoding matrix, and compressing the space frequency matrix. Finally, the approach includes determining a compressed PMI based, at least in part, on the space frequency matrix.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for a single downlink control information (DCI) signal that supports multi-transmission reception point (TRP) transmissions from different TRPs (e.g., different 5G Node Bs or different antenna panels.) A user equipment (UE) receives a single DCI signal that includes a first transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state of a first TRP, a second TCI state of a second TRP, and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port indication value. The UE uses the DMRS port indication value to determine a first DMRS port and a first code division multiplexing (CDM) group of the first TCI state and a second DMRS port and a second CDM group of the second TCI state. The UE receives a multi-Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) signal that includes multi-TRP transmissions, and uses the above determinations to decode data from the first and/or the second TCI states.

Abstract: Systems and methods of beam reporting for multiple DL processes are described. A UE receives a beam management processes configuration that provides information about beam management reference signals for beam management procedures. The UE transmits a UE capability report that indicates beam management capabilities of the UE and, later, an indication of whether the UE intends to engage in beam refinement. The UE measures the beam management reference signals and receives a beam reporting message that indicates at least one of the beam management procedures to report. In response, the UE transmits the beam report. The beam report contains beam management reference signal measurements of the beam management procedures indicated by the beam reporting message.
